Of all the holidays, Valentine’s Day is the one that most calls for a do-it-yourself approach. Kids traditionally get out the scissors and glue and work some creative magic with red construction paper and lace doilies. But Valentine’s Day crafts can go far beyond the handmade card. Here Kathy Ross, America’s crafts-for-kids expert, shares some very new and very original ideas for the holiday. There are, of course, several ideas for valentine cards, but you’ll also find projects for card holders, jewelry, and even a wind chime. There are many imaginative ways you can express the spirit of Valentine’s Day by making something unique for the special people in your life.
